The mortuary temple of Amenophis III has vanished and all that remains are the two famous colossi which once guarded its outer gates. they are, in fact, gigantic statues of the enthroned Amenophis himself, 19.5 m high. At one time they wore the royal crown and were even higher. The one on the right (north) was shattered by an earthquake in 27 BC and later repaired.Entrance Fees: (Please see at the bottom of this page)
